SINGULAIR

Montelukast is used in mild to moderate asthma to decrease the symptoms of asthma and the number of acute asthma attacks. This medication is also used to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). Montelukast reduces the swelling and inflammation that tend to close up the airways, and relaxes the walls of the bronchial tubes, expanding the airways and permitting more air to pass through. However, the drug should not be used to relieve an asthma attack that has already started. The safety and effectiveness of montelukast has been demonstrated in children as young as 6 months of age. It was approved by the FDA in 1998.

SIDE EFFECTS: The most common side effects with montelukast are headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, sore throat, and rhinitis (inflammation of the inner lining of the nose). These side effects occur in 1 in 50 to 1 in 7 persons who take montelukast.

PREGNANCY: Montelukast crosses the placenta into the fetus following oral administration to animals, but there have been no adequate studies in pregnant women to determine the effects on the fetus. Physicians may prescribe zafirlukast during pregnancy if it is felt that its benefits outweigh the potential but unknown risks to the fetus.
